This week on T&B, we dig deep on GRUBBY--and what we find might make you say YECH...or YECCH...or YEECH! It's a GONZO episode that covers everything from DOGGING to DOXXING. Best not to let your AI agents listen for you.

When kings are fools and fools are kings, we must find joy in wordy things! This week on T&B, we're putting on our April Fool's caps, talking TANKA for national poetry month, and getting a bee in our BONNET. Plus, we've got a marvelous mash-up of Vintage Vocab and Teen Words that you won't want to miss.

Skip the GLADHANDING, get ready to MOIL, and call up your OILMAN, man. T&B is all new this week and we're playing road trip word games from home. 'Cause that's how we roll.

**This episode first aired November 11, 2025**Jenn's moving. C's on vacay (yes, again). And for season 9 episode 5, we're giving you a chance to revisit season 8, episode 5! We'll bee back with a whole new episode next week!

It's the end of the world as we know it...and we're just going to laugh and talk about words! On this episode of T&B we're avoiding CATATONIA by focusing on CORMORANTs, ROBINs, and LULLABYs. If you, too, could do without MONOCRAT, pick up a fig NEWTON and PENCIL us in!

If you're confused by the world and looking for a word escape, you're in the right place! This week on T&B we're talking DELI orders, ANAGRAMs, and full body Scrabble. It's an onomato-party, and we're ready to COOK!

This week on T&B, C's giving women the spotlight. Call her a TACTICIAN. Call her a MONOMANIAC. Either way, there's nothing AWRY--the CATMINTs are for everyone! So, put on your CHAPs, hold on to your KNURLs, and come along for the ride. We're flying by the seat of our pants again!

We're back (and only a few hours late)! On this inaugural episode of T&B Season 9, we're talking winter sports, Crossplay, and dictionary denial. And of course, we've got Spelling Bee takes! TRIGRAPH? CORDOVA? PILLOWING?? If there's a word you got passionate about last week, we're probably on top of it like a two-person luge.
